Author to talk on Civil War reporters The story of the men who covered the Civil War for America's leading newspapers will be the subject of author James M. Periy at the Blue Ridge Civil War Round Table meeting next week. Mr. Perry, author of A Bohemian Brigade: The Civil War Correspondents, will speak on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Old Sperryville Bookshop in Sperryville. The war correspondents of the 1860s were a band of rough and ready men who traveled with the armies, took great risks and lived under harsh conditions to bring the news of the war to North and South. Frequently in conflict with Civil War commanders, they were called *"tfie buzzards of the press" by Union Gen. William T. Sherman. The Civil War was the first "instant-news war," made possible by the invention of the telegraph, and these correspondents helped define a new kind of reporting which had great impact. The speaker is himself a longtime journalist, having been a Washington-based" political writer for The National Observer and The Wall Street Journal. Nonmembers of the Round Table should call 987-8444 to reserve a place at the meeting. Happenings • Wednesday, Nov. 8, Washington Town Council will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Washington Town Hall. • ARB meeting normally scheduled for second Thursday of month has been canceled, as there are no applications before the board this month. ■V • Tuesday, Nov. 14, the Rappahannock School Board will meet at 7:30 p.m. at the Rappahannock County High School Band/Music Room.

The smoke plume, shown here from above the park, has drifted to North Carolina. Rappahannock News Staff Photo/R.B. Qassie Shenandoah complex fire ignites controversy By Gerald Ochs Rappahannock News Writer Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods And day by day the dead leaves fallandmelt. , , v . Autumnal Sonnet, % William Allingham Amidst the screen of smoke from backfires lit by yellow-jacketed and weary firefighters, Rappahannock County lays more secure and com* fortable than in those anxious days just last week, but there begins to glow the spark of controversy regarding the handling of the incipient fire by the Shenandoah National Park. Few doubt the abilities and professionalism of the U. S. Forest Service's Northwest Incident Management Team, under the direction of Joe Stutler, that took control of the event on the evening of Nov. 1, but some are convinced that the spread of the fire was and is unnecessary, and the result of an ill-advised "prescribed burn" promoted by Park managers. Some see the Park still as a present day manifestation of the forces that conjoined to set aside the land for public use, and ejected their forebears from their ancestral lands in the process nearly three-quarters of a century ago. Some say that it is this same bureaucratic bent that is behind an elitist disregard for the locals and their land, and that determined to take advantage of a deliberately set or accidental fire by permitting it to have its head,-and clem-out the underbrush. ■' Park and incident • managers reject this notion and, in fact, any attempt at representing their actions as anything but proper and focused upon containment, suppression and, most importantly, the protection of human life. Doug Raeburn, who is responsible for fire management in the Shenandoah National Park, appears cut from the same mold as incident team manager Joe Stutlerstraightforward, honest, and the consummate professional. He said that, in his 26 years of involvement in forest fire Fighting around the country, • he has "never been on a single fire that there haven't been such allegations and misrepresentations." He addressed the charge, for example, that local fire fighter support had been refused during the early stages of the Old Rag fire. Mr. Raeburn said" that a local group of volunteers had wanted to access the fire through the See FIRE, Page A4 GOP sweeps Virginia Bush beats Gore in the Commonwealth By Dominic Bonaiuto Rappahannock News Staff Writer Republican George W. Bush won Virginia's vote for president handily Tuesday, as expected. The Texas governor was leading Vice President A1 Gore (D) 53 percent to 45 percent with 55 percent of the state's precincts reporting at the Rappahannock News deadline. Green Party candidate Ralph Nader had won 2 percent at that point. Virginia has long been considered safe territory for Bush with Gov. James Gilmore (R) serving as a close adviser to his Tfexas counterpart and as state chairman of the Bush campaign. The Bush team boasts plenty of local ties — including numerous appointees from his father's White House admini-stration.

Allen toppled Virginia’s last statewide-elected Democrat Tuesday, scoring a stunning victory over twoterm U.S. Sen. Charles S. Robb of McLean. Allen, who led in every statewide poll leading up to election day, withstood a late charge from Robb to solidify the GOP’s control of the Old Dominion despite heavy Democratic turnout in Northern Virginia. “I want to thank God for this election,” Allen i told a packed crowd in Richmond Tuesday night. “We reached out to Virginians and we want to unite Virginians.” With 74 percent of statewide precincts reporting at the Rappahannock News deadline, Allen had won 53 percent of the vote to Robb’s 47 percent.

He handily beat Libertarian Brian Brown and Independent Marc Rossi. Rappahannock gave Wolf a total of 2,514 votes; Brown got 463, and Rossi got 177. In his characteristically low-key manner, despite whopping margins in the early going, Wolf waited until most precincts had called in their results before claiming victory. Speaking before supporters at the Westfield Marriot yesterday evening, Wolf said he was pleased to serve another term." He attributed his win to "my record — saving See WOLF, Page A8 George W.

County supervisors hear of fire fighting progress *'■ by Gerald Ochs , Rappahannock News Staff Writer If a calm milieu can be taken as evidence of the ebb of fire danger to the County, then Monday’s Board of Supervisors meeting might mark the point at which the Shenandoah Complex Fire of 2000 had begun its retreat. On no face was there any memory of the anxiety and uncertainly that had been fueled by the fires a week earlier, and a progression of praise indicated that those in the know were satisfied that the Park fire's containment was near complete. Rappahannock Emergency Services Coordinator Col. D.C. Knuepfer, Sheriff Larry Sherertz, and County Administrator John McCarthy all provided updates on aspects of the fire and fire containment efforts. At the time of the meeting 850 firefighters Were on the job, full containment was expected by Nov. 17, and it was projected that a total of 22,000 acres of Park land would be burned by fire's end. Sheriff Sherertz noted that the cause of the fires was unknown, but under investigation. An arson investigation is ongoing he said, "but it looks like an accident." He also praised the efforts of Rappahannock County fire and rescue service volunteers who, he said, "are doing a hell of a job." Mr. McCarthy provided a brief history of the development of the Shenandoah Complex Fire incident team, and commended the efforts of Emergency Coordinator Col. Knuepfer and his assistant James Marangoni, the Sheriff s Department, the community and community businesses for their support, ahd E-911 Coordinator Richie feurke for his efforts in developing a book of maps of the homes that were endangered. Mr. McCarthy related that Deputy Incident Commander Anderson said that the map book that Mr. Burke had prepared was "the single best map resource supplied" in his experience in fire fighting efforts across the United States. The Board also praised the fire fighting efforts, and Supervisor Bob Anderson forwarded a motion, unanimously approved, to present Incident Commander Joe Stutler with a plaque in recognition of the County's appreciation of his work. ‘ Sprint PCS tower application update 1 Mr. McCarthy reported that Sprint PCS had appealed The family of the late Eugene “Kilroy” B.

Because of that appeal, he said, the application is on hold. The appeal will be heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals at a public hearing at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 29 in the high school auditorium. The BZA can uphold or overturn the Zoning Administrator's decisions, after which the unsuccessful party can appeal the BZA's decision to the Circuit Court. Subsequent appeals could be made to the Appellate Court and then to the Virginia Supreme Court-and the appeals process could take a long time, Mr. McCarthy said. Mr. McCarthy also noted that the County’s telecommunications consultant, Atlantic Technology Consultants (ATC), had signed on and was presently reviewing the environmental assessment requirements of the application. He suggested that they also be used to assist in the evaluation of emergency communications facilities, and that a committee, with representatives from the Board of Supervisors, the Sheriffs Department, the Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association and the Town of Washington, be formed to work with ATC. Supervisor Roger Welch volunteered to be the Board s representative to the committee. Schools report Schools Superintendent Dr. David Gangel introduced assistant superintendent designees Helen Williams and Jack Raines to the Board of Supervisors. He said that they will be serving as co-assistant superintendents after Mrs. Biggs retires at the end of this calendar year. Helen Williams will serve as co-assistant superintendent and his designee until her retirement in September of 2001, and Jack Raines will serve as assistant superintendent trainee until Mrs. Williams’ retirement, after which he will be the permanent assistant superintendent. Dr. Gangel noted that the applications for the position of high school principal, to be vacated by Mr. Raines, were being accepted until 11/15/00, and that the School Board would review applications and make a decision on the new principal, probably by their December meeting. He reported that he was attempting to have three local universities send representatives to the School Board meeting of Nov. 28 to discuss entrance criteria, and that the dedication of the new wing of the high school was tentatively scheduled for Nov. 30. Other activities • The Board received an update on the County's secondary road improvement activities from VDOT's Bob Moore, and held a public hearing on the six year plan. Mr. Moore said that, as a result of information received, VDOT will develop an updated draft six year plan and will present it to the Board at their December or January meeting. • Mr. McCarthy reported that a donation of some $34,000 had been received from the Cole Family Foundation to be used to equip sheriffs deputy cruisers with portable defibrillators. • At the public comments portion of the afternoon session, Joy Sloane thanked Mr. McCarthy for his assistance in disseminating information about the Park fire. The information provided by Mr. McCarthy, she said, "makes a rather scary proposition less frightening." • Mr. McCarthy reported that Crawford Fencing had submitted an acceptable bid of $23,750 for ball field fencing, and the Board accepted the bid. • The Board okayed a new signage for the Town of Amissville, provided the AACA agrees to maintain it. • The Board reappointed Roberta Anderson to the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board, and praised her efforts to date. • The Board considered and approved amendments to the Consumer Utility Tax Ordinance that were necessitated by changes in State code, and are "revenue neutral". • The Board considered and approved amendments to the Zoning Chapter of the County Code, most of which were necessary as the result of new State requirements or "housekeeping" needs. The sole exception was a change to the Family Apartments section that provided a definition of "family" as "ancestors, descendants, or siblings”.

RAAC to host second Library series By Sallie Morgan Rappahannock News Writer On Friday, Nov. 10 at 8 p.m., RAAC will host the second of its Friday at the Library series, welcoming writer Laura Matthews ("A Ramble through Rappahannock") and Wayne Baldwin, who has probably collected more genealogical information and more stories about Rappahannock residents than any other one individual. Laura and Wayne will share two very different perspectives on Rappahannock history. Wayne Baldwin has Rappahannock roots that run as deep as an oak tree's and as broad as a maple's. At age 16 his history teacher at the local high school started him on what can only properly be called a career in exploring those roots. A class assignment to find out something about an ancestor who fought in the civil war inspired Baldwin to start tracking down family members as far back as he could go and to begin collecting stories about their lives. He had the privilege of knowing all his grandparents, three of his great grandparents, and one step grandmother, who provided much of the initial information he gathered. From there he began to write to other relatives, and he discovered that a wealth of information is available at the County Clerk’s office. "You can also learn a lot from tombstones," says Wayne. "But my family started to worry about me when other young people were doing things like going to King's Dominion, and I preferred to spend my time in graveyards!" Sometimes the research can be painfully slow. Wayne spent six full days at the library copying names, dates, etc. from the 1870 census data. ,r Efforts to track down his fourth greatgrandfather, for whom he had a name only, : took over ten years. In recent years, Wayne - / has added the internet to his research tools, ,, but he warns that internet data can be unre- ;; liable. Wayne has written one book, "Grandpa's Time and Before," and has contributed arti- . cles to the Rappahannock News since 1974. „ In 1983, he collected oral histories that ; become part of Voices of Rappahannock, an ; original drama produced by the Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community (RAAC). This past summer, Wayne took his first ;; trip out of the United States to attend a Dwyer family gathering in Ireland, which - brought together folks from all over the world. They have been able to trace Dwyer * family roots in this country back nine gener- J ations, which means that the family came * here long before the potato famine. The trip -- to Ireland provided an opportunity to look back at family history from the period before .« their migration to America. £ Wayne has worked at a series of paid « jobs, but his real passion is clearly collecting - stories and helping others to do the same, i* He will share some of his most interesting discoveries with us at the Library on Nov. 10 '■* at 8 p.m. i* Subscribe to the Rappahannock News.

WCDS News By Lori Ferreira 1 • Sixth and seventh grade Wakefield Country Day School students, along with teachers Pamela Lynn-Tucker, Teresa Mountjoy, and Mark Mourachilan, enjoyed a three day visit to Philadelphia recently. Along with a stop by Planet Hollywood, the group saw "Romeo and Juliet", visited Valley Forge; and took a talking tour of historic Philadelphia, including the Liberty Bell, Independence flail and the Ben Franklin House. • Headmaster Michael F. Vargo attended a conference last week at the Center for Contemporary Arab Studies at Georgetown University. Mr. Vargo was able to share much of what he learned with Mrs. Aney Massie Hoehn, whose history students are beginning a section on Islam. Correction: In addition to the students reported to have been invited to take the SAT I by the Johns Hopkins Talent Search, seventh grade WCDS student Ben Clark’s name should have appeared.

The volunteers, he said, were either unsuccessful in negotiating the road or were unable to find the fire, and returned without having fought it. Mr. Raeburn said that he was not displeased that they could not attack the fire, because they returned safely. "We've lost over 400 wildland firefighters since 1950," he said, and noted that the primary concern of park personnel is and has always been the protection of human life-"There is nothing on the mountain ... in the park . . . that is worth losing a life over." Significant progress has been made in fighting the fire, according to Mr. Raeburn and incident information officer Claire Comer. As of Tuesday evening the fire was considered more than 60 percent contained, and it was expected that a line around the entire fire should be in place before morning on Nov. 8. Once this Park authorities are treating the Old Rag and Pinnacles fire as one blaze, dubbing it the Shenandoah Complex Fire. line has been deemed defensible, Stage 1 (containment) should be considered complete. That will likely occur before Nov. 9, and Stage 2 (control) efforts will then be redoubled. The control process involves moving from the fire lines inward to suppress the fire. Working in this manner ensures that the fire will not jump outside the fire lines, and will thus assure the safety of citizens and their homes. Once the firefighters have moved in and gotten sufficient moisture on the fire, it is then considered controlled. Stage 3 ' fire out-is achieved only after enough moisture has gotten to the fire to bring the ground moisture index to the proper level. At this point in time, according to Mr. Raeburn, that will take nearly three inches of rain or an equivalent amount of snowfall. Control of the tire is still projected for Nov. 17, though it will likely occur sooner, but there is no projection at this time for the declaration that the fire is out. That depends, in large part, upon natural precipitation and is, obviously, beyond the control of the incident team. The Shenandoah Complex Fire is already the largest fire in the history of the area, having consumed some 20,000 acres to date, and the second largest fire in the park's history (in May of 1986) involved, by comparison, only 4,475 acres. The cost of fighting the fire will probably exceed $3,000,000, and the effort is currently using resources including 831 personnel, thirty-six fire engines,, three water tenders, eight bulldozers, and nine aircraft. It appears that by week’s i end the fire threat to the com- 1 munity will be but a recent [ memory. The smoke though, ] will linger, as will some of the • mistrust that has persisted ! through many years and many J fires, and will likely persist for 1 some time more. > There is no question as to ( the dedication and abilities of J many and perhaps most on the J fire fighting team, but there 1 remain questions among at i least a few in the neighboring I communities as to some of the J decisions made. ' The well-deserved tributes » will come though, but will not ! likely extinguish the doubts. | The incident team will go off to ; fight other fires in other rural • communities and, hopefully, J will remember the support J and generosity of J Rappahannock and Madison • and Page counties and their < folk, and not dwell too much ! on the skepticism they've seen [ before and will experience - again. .

This Week In Sports By Jon W. Smythe Athletic Director Girls' Basketball It was the final week of the regular season and the Lady Panthers were matched up with two teams tied for first place. On Tuesday, Oct. 31 the Rapp squad traveled to George Mason to pair up against the Lady Mustangs. It was one heck of a game as the Lady Panthers showed the girls from George Mason they were no ordinary sixth place team. The two teams were pretty evenly matched in the first half and traded baskets up until the horn sounded for intermission. The Lady Panthers went into the break with a 25-22 half time lead. Amanda Weakley had a terrific first half and lead all scorers with 12 points. The third quarter caught the Rapp girls on their heels as they just couldn't seem to buy a basket. The George Mason girls showed why they were leading the District and broke the game open with a 26-9 scoring edge that put them on top 4834 at the end of the third quarter. But, the Lady Panthers showed they had heart and fought back with an 18 point fourth quarter that fell just short. When the game ended it was George Mason 59 and RCHS 53. Gwen Johnson put on a fourth quarter show that made a case for her being on the All-District first team five. She scored 15 of her game high 21 points in the final quarter, including sinking three 3-pointers. On Thursday night, the Lady Panthers faced the Lady Rams from Strasburg at home. It was another hard fought, tough defensive game as the Strasburg girls were battling for first place in the District and the Rapp squad was playing their season finale in front of their home crowd. The home court advantage was not enough and the Lady Panthers fell short in their final home game, losing to Strasburg by a score of 45-34. Juniors Gwen Johnson led the Lady Panthers with 12 points and Amanda Weakley added 11. After the contest, Coach Mike Dayton said, "It was a great week of basketball. The girls showed that they could play and belonged on the court with the best teams in the District. I believe we re peaking as a team at the right time with the District tournament commencing next week. Hopefully, we can capture a big win in the quarter final match-ups next Tuesday.” The Junior Varsity Photos courtesy of Steven Von Fang® ACTION: Gwen Johnson in action against Strasburg.

Cross Country With the season over, all that remained for the Panther Cross-Country team was a visit to the New Market Battlefield to cheer on the two Panther harriers that had earned a berth in the Regional competition. Junior Phillip Thomas and Sophomore Alyssa Berry represented RCHS in the tournament after qualifying last week in the District meet. Phillip came in 38 overall in the boys competition with a time of 19:23. Alyssa was 27 among the girls runners with a time of 23:37. The winning boys (17:12) and girls (20:25).

The fire events that first visited the Shenandoah National Park last week brought with them some grumbling about the Park's handling of feres and about the refusal of Park management to permit local fire fighters to attempt fire suppression, but it also brought the unparalleled professionalism of Joe Stutler and his Northwest Incident Management Team. Mr. Stutler and his team showed us not only some of the technical aspects of forest fire fighting, but most importantly how experience and organization can be used to overcome significant challenges effectively and safely. . Mr. Stutler said that the priorities in fighting the SNP fire were: 1) to assure the safety of citizens and firefighters; 2) to keep the fire in the Park; and 3) to protect structures. It appears that he has been most successful, and our heartfelt thanks go to him and his team for these fessons well taught.

Letters Local efforts appreciated s we watch "The Fire" consume Sam's Ridge and Hazel XXMountain, we would like to take a minute and thank John McCarthy, Richie Burke, the Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department and the Sperryville, Castleton and Salem Volunteer Fire Departments. We think all of our neighbors would be quick to agree that the local personel have answered our questions with candor and compassion. The volunteer firefighters sitting stationed along Route 600 have been quick to tell us what they know. For those of us with homes, families, pets and livestock in the hollow- current information is a godsend. Meanwhile, The National Park Service called us today (Sunday) at 1:30 p.m. to inform us that "firefighters would be working in the area." While we appreciate that SNP personel .. are currently swamped, such a phone call was ludicrous. The . * polite young woman on the other end of the phone was unable ' to tell us anything more than the obvious since we had seen - the entire brigade arrive in the hollow around 10 a.m. and our.' family spent lunch watching the helicopters at work. We hope the backfires succeed in containing "The Fire" at Route 600 and that all of our neighbors homes are ■' spared. We hope Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Burke, the deputies andvolunteer firefighters realize how much their efforts are appreciated. * Joe and Sue Garvin Sperryville Take care with lit cigarettes I feel very fortunate having been raised in this, the Culpeper area. Even better than that, it is my privilege to also work in the foothills region of the Piedmont. On a regular basis, I get to enjoy the pristine views that Rappahannock, Madison, and Culpeper offer. What else could one want. Respect for that land! To my hearts dismay, and I would think yours, our little plot of God's garden has been tar nished by the recent wildfires we are all affected by. Lately, I have been working in Rappahannock County and have seen these fires and the damage up close. Friday night, on my way home, I got behind a parade of cars and trucks out looking at the "train wreck." Sightseers wanting to view the wildfires in their glory. What hurt more than having these local tourists looking at the amber glow of the mountains on fire was that two vehicles in front of me actually threw lit ’ cigarettes out of their windows. Think, people, think. If you can’t keep your ! butts in your cars, then keep your butts at home. With all my heart I love these mountains, Let's keep our small piece ofi paradise intact. • Stik Gulus Culpeper Down Memory Lane From Back Issues of the Rappahannock News 50 YEARS AGO JNov. 9, 1950 fThe Parcel Post Sale, held by the ladies of the Courthouse offices (referred to as the Courthouse Gang") was a success, according to the ladies.

CCLC is accepting absentee bids on tbat evening for individuals who will not be able to attend the Saturday night auction. Nothing will be sold in advance! All funds from this auction will go toward the Scholarship Fund for the preschool and school age programs and the Renovation fund for the Washington School. CCLC awards approximately $30,000 in scholarships funded by the auction and the Annual Fund Campaign.

Photo courtesy of Louise van Dort UP FOR AUCTION: Charlie Coombs donated a cherry oval top tea table for the Saturday auction. The mission of the Child Care and Learning Center is "to provide a nationally accredited preschool, day care, and after school programs for local children, at a low cost to families as possible, striving to improve the quality of our children's lives through nurturing and enriching programs. CCLC mainstreams the economically disadvantaged and developmentally delayed children with families who can afford full tuition by soliciting donations for scholarship. A not-for-profit institution, CCLC serves a representative cross-section of all children from our community." The Center also provides Rappahannock's Head Start program for 18 three and four year olds. "We meet the needs of families without regards to economic status, and we do that by blending funding streams of private donations,, public and private grants, tuition, and fund raising events like the auction. CCLC is more than a charity, more than a private school,” says Rose Ann Sharp, Executive Director. "We would not be here today, celebrating our 23rd anniversary of service to families in Rappahannock, if it were not for the community donor support. We could never afford to have the quality of programs we have today in this rural community without hardworking volunteers and Board members who donate time and talents to help raise funds to supplement the tuition collected. I cannot say enough about the CCLC Board, the CCLC Friends, and the dozens of loyal donors who support us year after year. When you come to this event on Saturday and see the beautiful furniture donated, the silver, the art, the jewelry, the services, the hours and hours of time donated by volunteers coordinating this event, you will realize what a wonderful community we have here that truly cherishes children. I am so proud to be a part of it!" Please check the local stores for flyers listing of some of the items available.

Political sociologist Aliza Kolker of George Mason University said the "Silicon Dominion's" red-hot economy might have been another factor in the GOP victory here. - "Traditionally, thd Republicans seem to represent the haves and the Democrats the have-nots," Kolker said, "... when times are good, people tend to vote Republican." mother-in-law Lady Bird Johnson. “The causes we have fought for together have meant a great deal to me.” Virginia’s Senate race was seen as a marquee duel between two former Virginia governors with very dissimilar styles and views. Allen, 48, son of the late Washington Redskins coach of the same name, is seen as an affable, aggressive politician who laid the groundwork for the GOP’s resurgence over the past decade. During his term as governor in the early 1990s, Allen revamped the state’s parole and welfare systems and instituted stiff education standards. Robb, 61, whose father-inlaw was former President Lyndon B. Johnson, was viewed as the poster-boy for the New Democrats, but, because of his modest, laidback approach, never assumed the leadership role that many hoped he would. Called the “invisible Senator” by critics, Robb has worked behind the scenes on issues like transportation and school security officers. As expected, Allen outspent Robb, but the senator’s campaigning was somewhat limited because of continued wrangling in Congress over several budget bills. Allen and Robb crisscrossed the state in the final days of the campaign, trying to shore up their base voters. Many voters commented on the rather negative tone of campaign ads during the final weeks. Tim Murtaugh, spokesman for the Allen campaign, said most of the mud-slinging came from the Democrats.

Milam recently assumed the position as Cubmaster of Pack 123, based in Washington. He took over the position from Mr. Joe Peregory at the start of this school year. Mr. Peregory served as Cubmaster for the past seven years. During his tenure, the Pack grew from a handful of boys to as many as 70 active scouts. In addition, Mr. Peregory instigated many of the fun and exciting activities that the Pack now participates in annually and is responsible for making the Pack's fund raising activities lucrative and beneficial to the Pack. Mr Milam was born in Danville. He attended George Washington High School there and after graduation attended the University of Richmond where he obtained a B.S. in Business Administration from the University's E.

About Cub Scouts Cub Scouting is a year round, family oriented program for boys in the first through fifth grades. Officially, the purposes of Cub Scouting are as follows: (1) To influence the development of character; (2) Develop good citizenship; (3) Encourage good sportsmanship; (4) Strengthen the ability to get along with others; (5) Develop new interests and skills; (6) Show how to be helpful and do one's best; and (7) Provide fun and exciting new things to do. Unofficially, the purpose is to have alot of good, old fashioned fun! Cub Scouting is for boys of all backgrounds and is adaptable to boys with physical, mental or emotional limitations. Cub Scouting provides an adventure to everyone involved through skits, games, field trips, service projects, outdoor activities and more. Further, all of this is done while earning various badges and pins. Basically, the Cub Scout framework provides structure and creates a sense of belonging for its participants. The Cub Scout "Pack" is the basic unit of Cub Scouting. The Pack is in all cases chartered by an organization with interests similar to the Cub Scouts, such as a church, school or community organization. The chartered organization ensures that the Pack has a suitable meeting place, adult leadership, and supervision. Not only does the Pack include the scouts themselves, but 0 Photos courtesy of Kirk T. Milam NEW SCOUTMASTER; Kirk T. Milam is new Cubmaster of Pack 123 based in Washington.

Most Packs meet once per month as an entire group, engaging in indoor and outdoor activities. The Packs are then broken down into smaller groups "Dens" which usually meet weekly or bi-weekly. Cub Scouting is relatively inexpensive. For less than $15 per year, a boy receives membership in the Pack and a subscription to Boys Life magazine (the subscription is optional). Cub Scouts do wear a sharp and attractive uniform for most activities, which is generally purchased by the boy's parent. However, in no case will a boy be denied a uniform or access to the Pack for financial reasons. For more information on Scouting, interested persons can refer to the official BSA (Boy Scouts of America) web site at www.bsa.scouting.org or one of the numerous private web sites dedicated to the Cub Scouts. About Pack 123 Pack 123 is Chartered through Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. Of course, one does not have to be a member of Trinity to participate in the Pack. Most of the Pack and Den meetings are held at Rappahannock County Elementary School or at Trinity, although the Pack and the various Dens do take occasional "field trips" to fun and exciting places. In addition meetings are usually held at times convenient for the parents and children. Pack 123 is in the Shenrapawa District (comprised of Shenandoah, Rappahannock and Warren Counties), which in turn is a part of the Shenandoah Council (comprised of part of northwest Virginia and eastern West Virginia). The Council headquarters are in Winchester. The Pack has a full calendar of activities planned for the upcoming months. Tonight, Wednesday, Nov. 8 at,7 p.m. at Rappahannock County Elementary School, the Pack will hold "Back to School Night." The November Pack meeting scheduled for Nov. 18 at 1 p.m. at Flint Hill is the annual Turkey SCOUTS: Austin Burnett, left, and Dustin Milam at the Park "Rodeo" in 1999. Many activities are planned for the Scouts this year and local children are encouraged to get involved. Shoot. In December the Pack will have its Christmas party, with lots of fun and good things to eat, everyone will make Christmas ornaments for Mom and Dad s tree. In January, the Pack will have its "Pinewood Derby" race. For that race, each boy makes his own car from a kit and decorates it to his liking. Although it may sound challenging, making the car is usually half of the fun. The cars are carved from a block of wood, with plastic tires affixed to it by metal axles, and are raced on a long, wooden track. On race day, the boys compete first within their own Dens, with the winners advancing to the Pack race. The winners at the Den level receive medals and the top finishers at the Pack level get trophies. Everyone is awarded a ribbon, however. At the end of the day, the family members and friends of the scouts can participate in the Family Race,' and also receive prizes for successful racing. In February the Pack has its annual Blue and Gold ' dinner, with some pomp and circumstance and a lot of good food. More fun events are planned for the spring, and these activities are in addition to all of the various Den activities. Interested boys desiring more information should call Mr. Milam at 631-0949 or e-mail him at milamlaw@aol.com. Parents or other interested persons wishing to become Cub Scout leaders are also encouraged to call Mr. Milam.

We watch with sadness, but it is hard to imagine the devastation until it arrives at our own back door, as it has done with the recent fires in the Shenandoah National Park. While many of our residents are new, and see the fire as destruction to the beautiful recreational areas that surround us, there are many of us with ancestors that worked and lived in the Shenandoah National Park. The loss of the few remaining reminders that there were once homes will likely be lost in the fire, also the remains of the old chestnut post and fallen trees. We will have to rely on our memories and stories to remind us of days gone by which are an important part of our heritage. For hundreds of years the huge American Chestnut trees covered many acres of the United States, including our county. The chestnut trees were a very sturdy tree that was resistant to decay. It was a tree that provided lumber for homes, fence post, fence rails, furniture and home and food to animals and birds. In 1904 the Chinese Chestnut trees were imported to the United States. These trees carried a bark fungus - that later killed almost every native chestnut tree in the I ,> Sperryville By SALLY KEYSER 987-8471 East and Midwest within 40 years. This is often referred to as "The Chestnut Blight." We still see remains of the chestnut trees in our area. Of course, we can all remember the song, "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire", which is a popular Christmas song. Chestnuts were often added to the turkey stuffing at Thanksgiving time. As a very popular tree, chestnuts have been a big part of our local holidays, as well as a popular tradition of this country. American Indians used chestnuts in many of their recipes. Here is a recipe for a dish that was most likely to have been served at the first Thanksgiving. Chestnut Cakes Roast one pound chestnuts, cook, peel, and puree, add half of a small onion chopped fine, and enough cornmeal and boiling water to hold the mixture together. Make into patties and fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain and add salt and eat. Do not add salt before cooking as it causes the com meal to crumble. To roast chestnuts for your holiday and to keep the shells from bursting, you take a serrated knife and cut an "X" on the flat side of the nut. Make sure you cut through the shell. Using a long handled pan (preferable an antique pop corn popper) place the chestnuts in the basket. Do not overcrowd the chestnuts, as you want them to touch the pan. Shake the pan and hold the pan just above the flames. The cooking should take about 15 minutes, or until the outside shell is black. Remove the nuts from the pan to an area where they can cool to the touch. You can easily peel and eat them. They will be almost creamy inside. If you do not have a fireplace, you can cook over moderate heat, shaking the pan until you can smell them. With modern technology they have developed a blight resistant chestnut. So chestnuts are now making a come back. With the holidays right around the corner, be sure to add chestnuts to your shopping list, to make this longtime tradition part of your family's tradition. They can be purchased in the produce section of most grocery stores. Our condolences to the family of Mr. Alson F. Atkins.

Stephens to exhibit at Middle Street By Diana Bird , Rappahannock News Writer , A Middle Street Gallery r*1®rn^)er of long-standing, Christopher Stephens has mounted a show for November, "Along the River”, celebrating one of our colorful local landscapes. Seventeen works of oil and pastel document the seasonal and diurnal changes of the valley, fields and mountains through which the Shenandoah River runs south of Front Royal. Only a farm road and cleared fields indicate inhabitants; otherwise, all we see are aspects of nature, including some affecting evening skies. Mr. Stephens is a skillful colorist who blends his highkeyed yet delicate tones with assurance. I felt that he had educated my eye when I left the show and looked again at the still vivid colors of our mountainsides and pastures as I drove home. There was more to see than I had realized, because Mr. Stephens had so well expressed the essential characteristics of his Photo courtesy of Christopher Stevens ON DISPLAY: Along the River, new oil and pastel paintings by Christopher Stephens will be on display at Middle Street Gallery now through Nov. 26. chosen scene in all of its variety. The pictures range in size from 14 by 58 down to 6 by 13 inches. Five are pastels and 12 oils. Nine of the pictures are in frames painted with acrylic to suggest beveling. The colors are taken from the pictures and give them dignity and depth. Several are lengthy panels that emphasize the expanses portrayed as well as the scenes deep perspectives. Christopher Stephens is a versatile artist of sensitivity and humor. This group of similar pictures show how a limited subject matter with respect to kind, landscape, and place, the Shenandoah Valley, can manifest an almost unlimited use of color, light and shade, atmospheric effects and compositional variety. For instance, fields with patterned shadow, rising mists, looming mountains and even darkened snow. I was moved emotionally by a number of the pictures, especially "September", "Along the River, Early Fall", "August Evening", and "Summer Evening". This exhibition will continue until Nov. 26 on weekends at the Middle Street Gallery in Washington. Colonial Christmas weekend scheduled Plans for Colonial Christmas weekend are well underway.

Love Extension Agent, ANR Crop & Soil Sciences Following are November gardening tips from the Rappahannock Extension Office. • After the ground freezes, mulch small fruit plants such as strawberries. One inch of straw or leaves is ideal for strawberries. Small branches laid over the straw or leaves may be used to keep mulch in place. • Remove grass and weeds from trunks of fruit trees and grapes to prevent damage by mice and rodents. Leave a bare circle (one foot wide) around tree trunks when spreading mulch to keep mice from feeding on the bark. A collar or fence of poultry wire or a commercial tree guard approximately 18 inches high will deter rodents and rabbits. • Remove all mummified fruit from fruit trees, and rake up and destroy those on the ground. Also, rake and dispose of dropped apple and cherry leaves. Good sanitation practices reduce reinfestation of insects and diseases the following season. • Break the crust on the surface of any sawdust mulch you have around blueberries, shrubs, and perennials to improve the absorption of water from fall rains. • Plowing that leaves the soil bare throughout late fall to early spring can create problems such as leaching and erosion. It is too late to plant cover crops to hold nutrients in the soil, but mulching could help preserve soil that otherwise might be lost during heavy rainfall. • Be sure not to store apples or pears with vegetables. The fruits give off ethylene gas that speeds up the breakdown of vegetables and causes them to develop ofif-fla-* vors. • Dead leaf stalks of perennial vegetables, such as1 asparagus and rhubarb, should be cut to the ground after their tops are killed by frost. *4 • When time or weather conditions prohibit plowing drcover cropping, you may wish to let your garden lie under mulch of compost, non-dis*eased plant wastes, or leaves all winter to be plowed or tilled under in the springy However, a mulch of heaVy materials, such as whole leaves, can become mattecj; and keep the soil cold and wet long enough to delay planting in the spring. If using large of heavy organic matter, chop it fine enough so it can breqk down over the winter. • If you use manure as a soil conditioner, apply it now and till it under. Manure can be a source of weed seed. Composting before application can reduce the number of viable seeds. • Make successive sowings of vegetable crops, such as lettuce and radishes, in th4i greenhouse. The secret to fresh food all winter is to sow small quantities frequently. . For additional information call the Extension Office at 675-3619.

People are often at a loss as to how to act around, and respond to, their grieving friends. We can begin by accepting the sadness for a circumstance that cannot be fixed. We can provide room for this sadness to be experienced by offering quiet companionship for grieving friends, if they so desire. Conversely, every attempt should be made to avoid giving advice, accompanied by the word “should.” It should also be remembered that, in the context of grief, cliches offered in hopes of minimizing grief are simply inappropriate. Quietly take your cues from your grieving friends. We understand the conflicting needs of grief: the desire to be comforted and its impossibility. You’ll find us sensitive to the emotional needs of your family when you come to us for services. At the MOSER FUNERAL HOME, 233 Broadview Avenue, Warrenton, we urge you to consider prearrangements as a gift to your family. Knowing that all is as you wish can be a great comfort for those you leave behind. You’ll find us to be experienced in the ups and downs of grief and here to lend a hand. For years we have worked with families, helping them through difficult times. Call 540-347-3431, and we’re happy to lend a hand. "/ get by with a little help from my friends. ” -John Lennon "The Home of Thoughtful Service" 11190 James Monroe Highway (Rt. 29 South) Culpeper, VA 540-825-2361 • 540-825-0395 Wayne English, General Manager FOUND Family Owned & Operated Scott Found, Mgr. 540-825-3530 850 Sperryville Pike Culpeper, VA 22701 Pryse Sr.; a son William Taylor Pryse Jr. and a grandson, George Thomas Trumbo.
